Wu, Anna Wu. She flicks an imaginary gun in her mind and spins it around her finger. She could get used to that.

Killing Chuck is not an option. Not. An. Option. He has that written on a post-it stuck to his bathroom mirror, so it must be true.

There’s a gag in Ellie’s mouth, but even if there wasn’t she still isn’t sure she could talk, because she’s so scared right now, so scared and bewildered and what has her brother gotten himself into?

“It’s going to be all right, Ellie,” Chuck says, and even though she can tell he’s just as frightened as she is, his voice is steady and sure and strong, and she loves him for it, even as she’s furiously cursing him in her head for not being smart enough to run away from the evil kidnappers with AK-47’s. She does try to speak now through the gag, and Chuck smiles like he knows what she’s trying to say.

It's easy enough to peek through the window - these people are just asking to be stalked, really - and he sees the female Bartowski guiding her fiancé's hands over some knitting needles. "Babe," the guy is saying, sounding way too dumb to have even heard of medical school, let alone graduate at the top of his class, "this is awesome!" Looks like there's an all-around lack of testosterone in that whole apartment.

Ellie is outraged and indignant, an avenging big sister ready to rip him to shreds, and right now, she reminds him so much of Chuck that it makes his heart ache.

In college, sex was easy. Uncomplicated. Tri Kappa keggers. Pledge week. Naked mile runs. Strip poker with Sigma Phi. Bryce had it all. Had his future laid out before him and Chuck Bartowski laid out beneath him.

His career might be in tatters and he might have his ex-girlfriend and one really pissed-off NSA agent after him, but this is going to be one of the best road trips that Bryce can remember.

"What the hell?" the tall dude in the tie yelped. Then he dropped his coffee mug. "Are home invasions supposed to be done naked now? Because that's something they never mentioned on the news."

The second time Chuck met Bryce, he made a crack about Bryce having the same name as the kid on Max Headroom.
